Federal grants you should claim first

Federal Pell Grant (core grant most single moms get)

• What it pays: Tuition, fees, books, living costs in your school’s Cost of Attendance.
• How much: Up to **$7,395\ast \ast for2025–26(minimum$740). Your exact amount = $7,395minusyourSAI(roundedto$5) if you don’t qualify for the maximum by formula. Year‑round Pell lets many students use up to 150% of their annual award by attending summer. (fsapartners.ed.gov)
• Apply: Submit the FAFSA. Federal deadline for the 2025–26 FAFSA is June 30, 2026 (don’t wait—earlier helps with campus grants). (fsapartners.ed.gov)
• Reality check: Schools can disburse federal aid no earlier than 10 days before classes; credit balances must be released within 14 days. First‑time loan borrowers have a 30‑day delay for loans (not Pell). (fsapartners.ed.gov)
• What to do if this doesn’t work: If your FAFSA is flagged or delayed, book a free appointment with Get2College (numbers above) and ask your aid office to add a “dependent care allowance” to your Cost of Attendance to reflect child care costs—it can increase your grant eligibility. (fsapartners.ed.gov)

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

• What it pays: Extra grant for students with the greatest need.
• How much: $100–$4,000 per year; limited funding; awarded first‑come first‑served at participating colleges. (fsapartners.ed.gov)
• Apply: FAFSA + ask your school if they award FSEOG and when funds typically run out.
• What to do if this doesn’t work: If your campus is out of FSEOG, ask about emergency aid funds or a professional judgment review to reflect current income or child‑care costs. (fsapartners.ed.gov)

TEACH Grant (only if you plan to teach)

• What it pays: Up to roughly **$3,772\ast \ast forawardsfirstdisbursedOct1,2025–Sept30,2026(sequesterreducesthe$4,000 statutory amount by 5.7%). Comes with a teaching service commitment in a high‑need field at a low‑income school; otherwise it converts to a loan. (fsapartners.ed.gov)
• Apply: FAFSA + TEACH counseling/Agreement to Serve at your college.
• What to do if this doesn’t work: Consider Mississippi’s Winter‑Reed Teacher Loan Repayment (see below) after you graduate; it can help repay loans if TEACH isn’t a fit. (msfinancialaid.org)

Mississippi grants and scholarships (stack these on top of federal aid)

HELP – Higher Education Legislative Plan (best for low/moderate income)

• What it pays: Full in‑state public tuition and required fees (or average public tuition/fees at MS private colleges). Max 8 semesters. (msfinancialaid.org)

• Core eligibility: MS resident; 2.5 HS GPA; ACT ≥20; complete the HELP curriculum (IHL CPC); be Pell‑eligible (max or partial). Full‑time enrollment required. (msfinancialaid.org)
• Deadline: Apply by March 31; documents by April 30. (msfinancialaid.org)
• Apply: FAFSA + MAAPP; your counselor must certify the HELP curriculum online. (msfinancialaid.org)
• What to do if this doesn’t work: If you miss the HELP deadline, apply for MTAG/MESG and ask your college about institutional grants, emergency aid, or a payment plan while you re‑apply next year. (msfinancialaid.org)

MTAG – Mississippi Tuition Assistance Grant (fills small gaps)

• What it pays: $500/yr\ast \ast (freshman/sophomore)and\ast \ast$1,000/yr (junior/senior). Up to 8 semesters. Must be eligible for less than the max Pell Grant. (msfinancialaid.org)
• Eligibility: MS resident; ACT ≥15; 2.5 GPA; full‑time. (msfinancialaid.org)
• Deadline: Apply by Sept 15; docs by Oct 15. (msfinancialaid.org)
• What to do if this doesn’t work: If you already get the max Pell or drop below full‑time, talk to your aid office about an appeal or schedule change; OSFA can advise at 800‑327‑2980. (msfinancialaid.org)

MESG – Mississippi Eminent Scholars Grant (merit)

• What it pays: Up to $2,500/yr; cannot exceed tuition/required fees; up to 8 semesters. (msfinancialaid.org)
• Eligibility: HS GPA 3.5 + ACT ≥29 (or National Merit Finalist/Semifinalist); full‑time. (msfinancialaid.org)
• Deadline: Sept 15; docs Oct 15. (msfinancialaid.org)
• What to do if this doesn’t work: If your ACT is below 29, focus on HELP or MTAG; also ask your college about merit scholarships for non‑traditional students (many don’t require ACT if you have college credits). (msfinancialaid.org)

Nissan Scholarship (competitive, but big)

• What it pays: Full tuition, required fees, and a book allowance at MS public 2‑ or 4‑year colleges (usually 1–2 awards statewide each year). (msfinancialaid.org)
• Eligibility: MS resident; HS GPA 2.5+; ACT ≥20; full‑time; leadership and need. (msfinancialaid.org)
• Deadline: March 1 (strict). (msfinancialaid.org)

FAITH Scholarship (if you were in Mississippi foster care)

• What it pays: Up to your school’s full Cost of Attendance minus other grant aid; includes holiday housing when available. Up to 5 years; 72 CC hours or 144 university hours. (msfinancialaid.org)
• Who qualifies: Current/former MS foster youth or certain residential care alumni; under age 25; at least 6 credits/term. Apply in MAAPP plus coordinate with CPS; also apply for ETV (see next). (msfinancialaid.org)
• What to do if this doesn’t work: Apply for ETV (Education & Training Voucher) separately—up to $5,000/yr for eligible foster youth; renewals possible up to age 26 if you started before 23. Contact MDCPS foster youth resources. (casetext.com, mdcps.ms.gov)

Child care and student‑parent supports (because school depends on childcare)

Child Care Payment Program (CCPP) – MDHS

• What it does: Pays a big part of child care tuition to approved providers while you work or attend training/college and meet income rules.
• Parent co‑pay: $0ifincomeisat/belowpoverty;\ast \ast$10 max** for certain groups (teen parents, foster, special needs, SSI parents, etc.); others use a sliding fee scale. Co‑pays are split evenly across children. Call 800‑877‑7882. (mdhs.ms.gov)
• Status/timeline updates (2025): As of Aug 1, 2025, MDHS reopened applications to families on the waitlist (invited in order). Certificates are issued for 12 months at a time. (mdhs.ms.gov)
• Apply/find providers: Use the MDHS CCPP parent portal (you must pick a provider first). (mdhs.ms.gov)
• What to do if this doesn’t work: Contact the Mississippi LIFT Resource & Referral network via MSU Extension to find lower‑cost licensed care near you and get help with applications. (extension.msstate.edu)

CCAMPIS (campus child care grants)

• Some Mississippi campuses run CCAMPIS child‑care subsidies for Pell‑eligible student‑parents. Example: The University of Southern Mississippi has a CCAMPIS application through its Center for Child Development. Availability can change year to year—ask your campus child care center or aid office. (usm.edu)
• National update: Several colleges are losing CCAMPIS awards for 2025–26 due to federal cuts; always verify your campus status. (washingtonpost.com)
• What to do if this doesn’t work: Ask your aid office to add a dependent‑care allowance to your Cost of Attendance and document child care receipts. This can increase need‑based aid eligibility. (fsapartners.ed.gov)

Short‑term job training that pays (WIOA, MI‑BEST, SNAP E&T)

• WIOA (Mississippi Works) can fund approved training through the WIN Job Centers using Individual Training Accounts (ITAs). ITAs often cover tuition, books, testing, and some supplies for in‑demand programs. Use the ETPL to pick a program and meet with a case manager. (mdes.ms.gov, mdes.ms.gov)
• Adult Education + MI‑BEST at community colleges lets you finish your high school diploma/HSE and a workforce certificate together, with support services and integrated instruction. (mccb.edu)
• SNAP E&T (Skills2Work) offers job training for SNAP recipients and an $80 monthly support stipend, plus help with transportation, child care, and supplies. Ask your SNAP worker to refer you. (mdhs.ms.gov)
• What to do if this doesn’t work: Ask Get2College or your college workforce office about employer‑paid apprenticeships or hospital‑sponsored training (many cover tuition for nursing assistants, LPN bridge programs, etc.). (get2college.org)

Real Mississippi dollar amounts and rules at a glance

Loan repayment (after you graduate)

These aren’t “grants” during school, but they can wipe out loans while you work in Mississippi.

Private scholarships especially friendly to single moms

• Soroptimist “Live Your Dream” Awards: local/regional/international awards totaling $1,000–$16,000; deadline Nov 15; must be primary financial support for your family and enrolled/accepted in a degree or skills program. Apply online and your local club reviews. (soroptimist.org, liveyourdream.org)
• Jeannette Rankin National Scholar Grant: for women/nonbinary age 35+, first associate’s/bachelor’s/technical degree. Up to $2,500/yr, renewable up to 5 years. Cycle opens each winter; check dates. (rankinfoundation.org)
• Women’s Independence Scholarship Program (WISP): for survivors of intimate partner violence (often single moms), typically $500–$2,000 per term (some awards up to $6,000/yr per program guidance). Two main cycles: Jan 1–Mar 1 and Sept 1–Nov 1. Requires partnership with a domestic‑violence agency. (wispinc.org)
• Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians – Tribal Scholarships: deadlines May 31/Oct 31/Mar 31 (by semester). Call 800‑446‑5006. Amounts vary; for enrolled tribal members. (choctaw.org)
• What to do if this doesn’t work: Call 211 to find local women’s groups and church‑based scholarships; ask your college foundation about “nontraditional student” or “student parent” funds. 211 is statewide and free (dial 211). (myunitedway.com)

How to apply (fast path)

• FAFSA (federal): Create FSA IDs for you (and a contributor if needed), gather 2023 tax info, submit, list your Mississippi colleges. Federal deadline June 30, 2026 (don’t wait). (fsapartners.ed.gov)
• MAAPP (Mississippi state aid): One application for HELP/MTAG/MESG/FAITH/Nissan; upload residency docs; watch your to‑do list for verification items. Deadlines vary (see table). (msfinancialaid.org)
• WIOA training funds: Visit a WIN Job Center and ask about eligibility and the ETPL; bring ID, resume, layoff notice (if any), and FAFSA confirmation. (mdes.ms.gov, mdes.ms.gov)
• Child care (CCPP): Choose a provider first (search the MDHS database), then apply online and upload required documents. Hotline: 800‑877‑7882. (mdhs.ms.gov)

Required documents (have these ready)

• Photo ID (MS driver’s license or state ID). (msfinancialaid.org)
• Social Security number(s).
• 2023 federal tax return (1040) and W‑2s (for FAFSA); other income proofs if requested. (fsapartners.ed.gov)
• Proof of Mississippi residency for state aid (driver’s license, MS state tax return, voter registration, or homestead exemption). (msfinancialaid.org)
• High school transcript, ACT score (for HELP/MTAG/MESG). (msfinancialaid.org)
• Child care provider info and your work/school schedule (for CCPP). (mdhs.ms.gov)
• Foster care documentation (for FAITH/ETV), if applicable. (msfinancialaid.org, mdcps.ms.gov)

Real‑world timelines (what to expect)

Common mistakes to avoid

• Waiting until summer to file the FAFSA—campus and FSEOG funds run out.
• Missing MAAPP deadlines (HELP by Mar 31; MTAG/MESG by Sept 15). Set reminders. (msfinancialaid.org)
• Enrolling part‑time when a grant requires full‑time (12 hours for 2025–26 state aid); dropping below can cancel your term award. Talk to your advisor before changing. (msfinancialaid.org)
• Skipping the dependent‑care allowance—ask your aid office to include child care costs in your budget; it can legally increase your aid eligibility. (fsapartners.ed.gov)
• Ignoring verification emails—upload documents quickly to avoid delayed disbursement (books and rent depend on timing). (fsapartners.ed.gov)

Local help you can actually use

• Mississippi Office of Student Financial Aid (IHL), 3825 Ridgewood Rd, Jackson—phone 800‑327‑2980 or 601‑432‑6997; MAAPP login for all state programs. (msfinancialaid.org)
• Get2College (free FAFSA/aid help): Ocean Springs 228‑875‑4441; Jackson 601‑321‑5533; Southaven 662‑349‑2789. (get2college.org)
• WIN Job Centers (WIOA): use MDES pages to find locations/programs and the ETPL. (mdes.ms.gov, mdes.ms.gov)
• Mississippi Coalition Against Domestic Violence: find local member shelters (good WISP sponsors for survivors). (mcadv.org)
• Dial 211 to locate nearby scholarship workshops, emergency aid, and child care referrals. (myunitedway.com)

Diverse Communities: tailored tips and resources

• LGBTQ+ single mothers: Ask your campus for an updated non‑discrimination statement and inclusive family housing. If you face bias in aid or housing, document and report through student affairs; 211 can point to local legal aid for name‑change or custody resources. (myunitedway.com)
• Single mothers with disabilities or caring for disabled children: Apply with the Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services (MDRS). VR can help with tuition, textbooks, and even dorm/meal plan fees when appropriate; effective June 15, 2025, MDRS uses a Financial Needs Analysis for some services (SSI/SSDI recipients are exempt). Start with MDRS OVR online request. (mdrs.ms.gov)
• Veteran single mothers: Talk to your campus VA certifying official about GI Bill/Basic Allowance for Housing (note: schools exclude BAH housing from COA housing allowance calculations). Ask for dependent‑care COA adjustments for child care. (fsapartners.ed.gov)
• Immigrant/refugee single moms: FAFSA eligibility depends on your status; many scholarships don’t require citizenship. Seek ESL/English Language Acquisition classes via the community colleges’ Adult Education (Skill UP Mississippi). (mccb.edu)
• Tribal citizens: The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians runs a Tribal Scholarships Program with posted deadlines; combine with Pell/HELP/FAITH where applicable. (choctaw.org)
• Rural single moms: If campus child care/CCAMPIS isn’t available, leverage CCPP and ask your college to include extra commuting costs in COA (professional judgment). (mdhs.ms.gov, fsapartners.ed.gov)
• Single fathers: All programs above (FAFSA, HELP, MTAG, CCPP, WIOA) apply equally to single dads.
• Language access: When calling state agencies, ask for interpreter services; many offices can add a three‑way interpreter to the call (MDHS and MDES routinely do this). (mdes.ms.gov)

Region‑by‑region starting points (financial aid pages/child care)

• University of Southern Mississippi – CCAMPIS application via the Center for Child Development (if open this year). (usm.edu)
• Mississippi State University – campus child care centers (Child Development & Family Studies Center; tuition posted so you can budget). (humansci.msstate.edu)

• All community colleges – adult ed/MI‑BEST and Smart Start through MCCB; call 601‑432‑6138 for Adult Education hub. (mccb.edu)

Plan B: if you’re denied or the money isn’t enough

• Ask for a “professional judgment” review to update your FAFSA/SAI for job loss, reduced hours, or new child care costs.
• Request a payment plan that matches your disbursement dates (schools must release credit balances within 14 days; time your rent/books). (fsapartners.ed.gov)
• Apply for WIOA or SNAP E&T to cover short‑term training and get the $80 monthly support stipend (if on SNAP). (mdhs.ms.gov)
